Astro Bot beats Doom as the No.1 wishlisted game of the summer games showcases

Its funny how the two big xbox games actually releasing this year aren’t on the top 10 though
I’m not seeing a lot of interest in Indiana jones or avowed from this showcase season
I really have to wonder if the reception the Indiana Jones movie got will carry over to the game as well. It’s far from the popular IP it used to be. Having made that exclusive really was such dumb move
thanks man, idk why it was only showing the VR ps4 one for me when i searched

I don’t think most people under 30 even really know or care about the character and then it starts to taper off because a lot of people 35+ don’t game as much or play those kind of single player games. Its in a weird spot
Very weird spot yeah. Indiana isn’t one of those IPs that got a lot of resurgence moments and it’s more a franchise that persevered through the older gen as one of those defining “nerd” classics but it never managed to capture a new audience. I’m very curious to see how this game does more from a cultural perspective; would the game have a bigger impact than the latest movie.

I don’t think anyone is implying that Astro is going to outsell COD or any other game on that list, just that interest for core gamers is very high
Trying to downplay it comes off as salty because Astro isn’t some big franchise yet its trending very high
What you mean 60 million people bought Astrobot and got a free PS5 with it?
If it hits that Mario Galaxy level as said in previews it's unfortunate for Rebirth but it will hit GOTY. Only one capable of stealing the crown is imo Wukong if it delivers. It would be so funny (and great!) if Concord is another live-service hit and Astrobot get GOTY.
I think Indiana Jones will be fine as a game but similar to Wolfenstein, won't set the world on fire. Nothing looked impressive, could have a good story.. it's Tod Howard's dream game. So he got that wish fulfilled.

Avowed looks trash, indy looks like it'll be just OK at best. Also rumor that Indy might get delayed to 2025. But it'd be hilarious if another year went by with Xbox not getting any GOTY nomineesIts funny how the two big xbox games actually releasing this year aren’t on the top 10 though

RGT is a known PS hater. He's a hardcore Nintendo shill but somehow also a big Xbox fan and praises them for every little thing.
Avowed is set in the pillars universe and is 100x more interesting then indy. Avowed is a branching path rpg From Obsidian. Real rpgs are the best genre of games.Avowed looks trash, indy looks like it'll be just OK at best. Also rumor that Indy might get delayed to 2025.

It just looks like a worse Elder Scrolls Online to me. I hope you enjoy it but nothing about it looks good, some of the worst character models and animations I've ever seen in a AAA game.
well thats the thing. its a Double A game. Not triple A. So the budget can't be crazy. They said its similar in scope to the outer worlds.
Outer Worlds was $60, this will be $70, so yes it is AAA, whether you wanna admit it or not. If they don't want people to see it as AAA then they should charge $40 like Helldivers 2
It is not just graphics (that are bad).
Animation is bad and combat is off.
In the trailers it give you simple options at end of the quests (learned nothing from Baldur's Gate 3).
IMO even for Obsidian's standards (they where never AA) it looks amateur.
its not Triple A. Outer Worlds was not Triple A either. Pricing has nothing to do with it. The game director literally said its similar in scope to the outer worlds. Which means double A game. They did not have a triple A budget for this game.

Graphics look great! especially the environments. Animation is kinda shabby and combat looks fine. Lol the trailers gives you a brief dialogue option. Obsidian always has different outcomes and branching paths in their rpgs. Are you not familiar with Obsidian? or rpgs in general? Do you even play them? Games looks good and i can't wait.
Again, idc what they label it as, they're selling the game at a full $70. Idc if the budget was lower, you can't hope to make AAA money but not want to be labeled as a AAA game, it doesn't work like that.
We have different ideias of what looks great.
You know they even had to give a GC trailer this last Xbox showcase to try to make the graphics a bit less bad.
